My name is Alfonso. I'm a Brooklyn, NY based fiction writer and poet. I graduated from Beloit College with a BA in Creative Writing. My work has appeared in a number of literary magazines. I operate a website (http://www.theadeptwriter.com) for emerging writers. My favorite literary genre is Southern gothic, and my favorite book is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. In my spare time, I enjoy acting, filmmaking, and collecting classic video games.
